Radon Public Service Media Campaigns
EPA Launches New Living Healthy & Green Media Campaign
We want Americans to know that a big part of “living green” is breathing clean, healthy indoor air. One of the best ways to protect our families’ health is to get radon gas out of our homes. It’s the environmentally responsible choice that can help reduce lung cancer.
Since radon enters homes from under the ground, living healthy and green starts from the ground up. By kicking radon out of homes every family can have safer, healthier air to breathe. That’s why EPA developed this new media campaign, Living Healthy & Green, to educate the public about how easy it can be to kick radon out. The new campaign features former NFL kicker Fuad Reveiz, now a home builder who uses radon-resistant construction and encourages others to do the same. Read Fuad Reveiz's Greenversation Blog "Resolve to Protect Your Family and Kick Radon Out of Your Home in 2009" Posted on January 23rd, 2009 The Living Healthy & Green media campaign features TV and seven unique music genres for radio stations and MP3 players. The entire campaign is available in multiple media formats and sizes for newspapers, magazine, billboards and the Web in both English and Spanish. All elements can be viewed and ordered on line at www.epapsa.com (You will be directed to a TV Access website.) Together we can reduce radon, avoid lung cancer, and save lives. Thank you for including this campaign in your community education and outreach efforts. |
Build Green: It's Easy to Build New Homes Radon-Resistant

It’s an inexpensive way to offer families a benefit that could reduce their risk of lung cancer. And it’s a smart way to build trust between you and your customer."
